Stripped of its context, though, its just a really effective way of describing Charly Bliss.
Blindingly bright, gleeful-sounding power-pop with teeth like piranhas.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Guppywas initially recorded and then re-recorded to meet a specific vision.

I think so much of the reason we recordedGuppytwice was even broader than what that album would sound like.
I think the issue was also who we were as a band.
The first time we recorded it felt very vague to us.
It just felt like a natural progression.
I also think thatGuppyitself was a very pop-forward record.
And the synth sounds, I think we were just really excited to break out of our comfort zone.
Whereas the songs onYoung Enoughstill feel very fresh and I still feel very connected to all of them.
Once it comes out people can hear it and pass judgement on it and whatever.
Part of being a musician is learning how to not internalize any of that.
But it kind of does change, your relationship to the songs does change.
Im nervous about that.
This record was largely about an abusive relationship you were in.
Are you trying to tie all of the visual art into the story of the album?
On the first track, Blown To Bits, it feels like youre singing about uncertainty of apocalyptic proportions.
I think we were driving through some small town in the Midwest.
